We have created a tree technical manual that is designed to help people understand the standards and guidelines for establishing, protecting and maintaining a healthy urban forest in the City of Guelph. The manual is to be used by private landowners, businesses and public organizations for activities involving trees on both public and private lands in the City of Guelph.

TheTTM’s project scope is not meant to review or revise existing City policies, such as the Official Plan or the Private Tree Bylaw.

Does this manual help you understand your role in caring for our urban forest? Show us how much you know and tell us if the Technical Tree Manaul will be an effective tool.
